NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest

Ok, did anyone watch the Slam Dunk Contest over the weekend? Can anyone else but me say that Andre Iguodala from the Philadelphia 76ers got robbed??!!!! I mean come on!!! He did a dunk from BEHIND the basket. Grabbed the ball off the back of the backboard and came around to the front....all while in the air....and made the slam!! That dunk got him 50 points and you are gonna tell me that he lost the competition by 1 point???? 1 lousy point????!!! Be real!!!
To make matters worse, one of the judges had given him a 10 on his last dunk and then decided to look around and pull back the 10 to give him a 9. What is going on here??? Just because the other guy, whom I might add, had some fantastic dunks, was a smaller player.....is this why he was given the title????? Doesn't make much sense to me.
Well, Andre, we got much love for you here in Philly. To us, you are the 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Champion!!!

I'm BACK!!!!!

Ok, its been awhile since I last posted. A lot has been happening, but hopefully my posts will become more frequent.

Let's see....Congrats to the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. I am so happy for Jerome "The Bus" Bettis. Good to see him go out on top. Also glad that Pennsylvania was fortunate enough to get a chamionship somehow.....who knows when the Philadelphia Eagles or for that matter, the 76ers, will win a championship?

Winter Olympics have started. I haven't watched much, but I do like the speed skating and the snowboarding. I'll have to tune in more to see the rest of the excitement.

Well, gotta go, but hello to all my family and friends who stop by. Take care and I'll be back again real soon!!!
